Country music star and actress Jennifer Nettles‘ character in the upcoming film Harriet is certainly a villain. The film stars Cynthia Erivo as Harriet Tubman, with Leslie Odom Jr., Joe Alwyn, and Janelle Monáe in supporting roles. Watch Nettles get a torch-wielding crowd on the move to “find this thief and burn her at the stake.” Yes, she’s after the abolitionist heroine!
“It’s here!! It’s here!! It’s finally here!!! I couldn’t be more thrilled to share with you more about this beautiful film in which I was so blessed to get to join! Featuring the amazing @CynthiaErivo as #Harriet Tubman. Get a peek of me here and in the full trailer link in my bio. @harrietfilm. Out everywhere November 1!!,” Nettles shared via Instagram.
Check out Nettles in the official Harriet trailer at the 2:05 mark below!

“Come Talk to Me” Lyrics
The wretched desert takes its form
The jackal proud and tight
In search of you I feel my way
Through slowest heaving night
Whatever fear invents
I swear it makes no sense
I reach out through the border fence
Come down, come talk to me
In the swirling curling storm of desire
Unuttered words hold fast
With reptile tongue, the lightning lashes
Towers built to last
Darkness creeps in like a thief
And offers no relief
Why are you shaking like a leaf?
Come on, come talk to me
Oh please talk to me
Won’t you please talk to me
We can unlock this misery
Come on, come talk to me
I did not come to steal
This all is so unreal
Can’t you show me how you feel?
Now come on, come talk to me
Come talk to me
Come talk to me
The earthly power sucks shadowed milk
From sleepy tears undone
From nippled skin as smooth as silk
The bugles blow as one
You lie there with your eyes half closed
Like there’s no-one there at all
There’s a tension pulling on your face
Come on, come talk to me
Won’t you please talk to me?
If you’d just talk to me
Unblock this misery
If you’d only talk to me
Don’t you ever change your mind
Now your future’s so defined
And you act so deaf, so blind
Come on, come talk to me
Come talk to me
Come talk to me
I can imagine the moment
Breaking out through the silence
All the things that we both might say
And the heart, it will not be denied
‘Til we’re both on the same damn side
All the barriers blown away
I said please talk to me
Won’t you please come talk to me?
Just like it used to be
Come on, come talk to me
I did not come to steal
This all is so unreal
Can you show me how you feel?
Now come on, come talk to me
Come talk to me
Come talk to me
